      Well darn. Didn't know we had a TV newscaster online. Welcome.

      1. Please refer me to the "many investigations". I don't remember any from, the local police or state government, and certainly none done by the FBI.

      Fredo6

      Found the problem. I did the update listed for today. Still problems, no cure. One thing I have learned, if your the only one having the problem, you may be the problem.

      So I kept looking at what am I was doing wrong. Then I see the problem, I had the #seq set to zero. Will, after changing the setting to ten, presto working again.

      Sorry to have bothered you. Your programs and your response is always fast.

      Just a thought, not a programmer, but maybe an error message, "SET THE DAMN #SEQ TO GREATER THAN ZERO, DUMMY"

      Also, Dave thanks for your help. I did go back and install, then remove and install again, until I was satisfied, that wasn't the problem.

      Now back to work.

      I haven't used this plugin for some time, maybe 2 to 3 updates. I was just trying out plugins after installing ver 2021.

      Yes about other geometry, I tried it out on a circular solid.

    • Fredo6 Round corners

      I can't get Fredo6 Round corners to work in ver 2020 or 2021. The attached image shows how the program is working/not working. On the first selection, when you select round edges, all of the selected edges to be rounded disappear. As shown in the first of the top illustration. All but the back wall has been removed.

      Yes, the program is up to date. This problem is in ver 2020 and 2021.

    • RE: Adding plugin toolbars to bottom of Sketchup window

      Dave

      Thanks.

      Well, I found the problem. The screen was not maximized to the fullest. It looked like it filled the total screen area, but When I made the screen smaller, it still behaved the same way. I went to ver 2020, made the screen smaller and it incorrectly behaved like version 2021. Then I made the screen full screen in 2020, and it behaved correctly. Went to 2021. Made the screen smaller than full scale. And now it works.

      Again, thanks for the help.

    • RE: Adding plugin toolbars to bottom of Sketchup window

      Dave thanks.

      There was a measurement toolbar to the bottom right side. I could not move this and I couldn't add any toolbars to the bottom.

      However, when I looked at the View Toolbars, I saw that there was a measurement toolbar and it was not selected. When I selected this in the view Toolbars, the measurement toolbar was on the bottom left side, and I could also add other toolbars to the bottom. Well, all seemed to be good.

      Well, that seems to have fixed it. I could add toolbars to the bottom. Looking good. THEN. I moved the measurement toolbar. and it moved up above the bottom, and all my toolbars also moved up. DAMN. And I couldn't get it back to the bottom or any other toolbars.

      So I unselected the measurement toolbar and it went back to the right bottom side. Then I selected the measurement toolbar, and nope, would not go again to the bottom, and also this includes the other toolbars.

      It is not working like version 2020.

      Image of the bottom of my screen. I noticed that at this location, it flashes, loading Dieter Bur projections. Humm!!!

      Thanks for the help.

    • Adding plugin toolbars to bottom of Sketchup window

      I add most of Sketchup's plugins toolbars to the bottom of the window. However, in 2021, I can't seem to add any toolbars to the bottom of the window.

      Also, in other versions of Sketchup I could move the measurement window.

      And the reason why......?

    • RE: SketchUp 2021 release

      Well loaded up 2021. Found some plugins that would not load.

      List:
      curic_dio2
      curic_drawing_Tools
      curic_extend
      curic_oi
      curic_section_views
      curic_streth

      Note, all of the above plugins were listed as working with 2019. So I am not surprised.

      The "Load Error" box that tells you what plugins will not load has an "Error:" at the beginning, and on these lines, you will find the offending "rb" plugin.

      I just add the following to the plugin's name, ie. curic_dio2.rb-ken That way they will not load. And then I monitor the website to determine if and when the plugin is ready to re-install.

      Note, what I am showing are plugins that would not install, not plugins that may not work.

      I do like the capability to add a tag folder. before I would put the different named tags I wanted to close all at once in a group. However, that became cumbersome, as sometimes I would have to drill down through groups to modify the object.

      Yes, each upgrade seems to be small, but I just plug along, because I make illustrations for PPP for pre-bid or pre-job meetings.

      I hope they didn't spend a lot of good money on the 4 icons listing the 3d Warehouse, Extensions Warehouse, Layout, and Extension Manager. Just poking the designers.

    • Model Axis - How to hide

      I wish to hide the model axis from scene to scene. However, I can hide it in a scene, then update the scene, go to another scene, and back to the first scene, and the axis is visible again. I remember there used to be a place in the preference or model info menu that had a checkmark called. "display axis".

    • RE: Plug-in Sought / Requested: 'Number of segments is too large

      Tim

      I have a three scaling option Toolbar. Opt #1, Scale-up by 25%, scale down by 80%. Notice the upscale and the downscale are different. As an example, if you scale up an object that is 100 inches long by 25%, your object is now 125 inches long. Now to get back to the exact size, you need to scale down by only 80% of the new size of the model.

      However, to scale up by 100% you only need to scale up by 2. And to recover your old size scale down by 50% or .5000

      Opt #2 up by 100% down by 50%, to return to the original size.

      Opt #3 up by 1.001% down by .999000999. Now, this is exact enough for what I do, however after a while, you will notice the inaccuracies of the up and downscaling.

      trans=Geom::Transformation.scaling(center, 1.001)

      trans=Geom::Transformation.scaling(center, 0.999000999)

      When plugins where much easier to make, I could modify the plugins for my use. However, I can't or won't give out the plugins as they have been modified, and the original are not my creation.

      I just wanted to show you that your perception of scaling won't work.

      "A simple way around this would be a one-button plug-in that scales the model x1000 and centres it in the viewport. Then, after doing the modelling, clicking the button would scale the model by 0.001 and centre it in the viewport."

      Hi fredo6

      Unless I can't read, I find it interesting that there is no "Hide" tool, that you have to go to the context menu. It would be nice if the first button was the "Hide" tool.

      Otherwise, I like how all the tools are in one location.

      Thanks for the very professional work you have done for the Sketchup group.

      I think but not sure that Jim hasn't done any coding for some time. Making my own set of commands was very helpful.

      Toolbar Editor will be able to do that, it's also listed as SU2020 compatible.

      Thank you for the information. However, the Toolbar editor only shows icons from pluins. Jim's program takes icons that Sketchup has but are not visible in the download. I know you can get copy/paste in place in the edit menu, but in my toolbar, I have two icons to do this operation. Also "shown hidden, hide and unhide" are also very useful.

      And I have an icon called toggle Axis, hide unhide/unhide axis, another icon called display construction geometry.

      Not sure why Sketchup has these icons hidden.

      Darn, double darn.

    • RE: Anyone Upgrading to 2020?

      I printed out the LayOut Quick Reference Card. I noticed a series of menu icons in the Arrange column and other selections that I like. However, they don't appear in Sketchup. I was just wondering why these are not native plugins for Sketchup. Yes, I know they are different programs, but most of the plugins to me would be a welcome addition to Sketchup.

      Dave as for the plugin that I un-installed was Fabber. A plugin to make flat layouts of parts for a CNC machine. The plugin manager could not uninstall the plugin, so I went to Revo Uninstall program. I guess I didn't look hard enough to see exactly what it was unstalling. I got back most of the plugins, but in Layout, but I lost all the Layout templates.

      Going to be more careful.

      Thanks in Advance
